I was at that time p nompleta argint, a very hardness of all orustaceans who live on the defensive, and wear their bones outside like a kind of armour. She was a year or two younger than I was, just about Min Georges' age. Miss Georges reminds me of her. She is taller and more beautiful, bat she re- minds me of her all thesame. I was not sure whether she cared for me. And I had a great friend. And he fell in love with her to. And I renounced her, and with drew in his favour. I went away without speaking.
